With this patch, we want to say goodbye to the Beat Slayer year 2024 with a bang. In addition to a new upgrade type, we also have something new for the Beat Slayer veterans among you.
New Upgrade Type: "Tanzschock Upgrade"
Unleash rhythmic destruction with the all-new Tanzschock Upgrade! Trigger its powerful effects every time you reach 10 Beats on your Beat Meter and at every 20 Beat interval thereafter (10, 30, 50, 70...). Choose from the following versions:

Tanzschock Taser Effect: Stuns all enemies for one tact.
Tanzschock Laser Effect: Activates four laser beams for one tact.
Tanzschock Barrage Effect: Fires a barrage of projectiles around you.
Tanzschock Repulsor Effect: Knocks back all enemies around you.
Tanzschock Explosion Effect: Deals damage in a large area around you.
New Game Mode: Anarchy
In the previous difficulty levels, you may have noticed that some enemies only appear in later acts. In Anarchy mode, we are throwing this rule overboard. The enemies are much stronger and Elite versions can now appear anywhere and at any time. In addition, some rhythm aids are deactivated, which makes every beat combo a real challenge.
Now it's the best time to check out Beat Slayer. Let us know what you think and write us here on Steam, Discord or Twitter/X!
Until then, stay tuned!

If HiFi Rush and Fallout had a baby, it'd be this Steam roguelike
If there's one thing I am a little too obsessed with, it's rhythm games. One of my favorite PC games ever made is Metal Hellsinger, and before that I spent far too much time on Riot Forge's Hextech Mayhem. This Steam Next Fest, though, my attention has turned to Beat Slayer , a n
